I gave up selling any of our private vehicles over 15 years ago...the last 3 were my wife's summer cars..put them on my front lawn..all were low mile front line vehicles..detailed outside and in..and underneath...the final straw was my wife's 02 Audi TT covert.it was in the wrapper with a 3rd of normal miles...a guy came to look @ it twice..I had to listen to him tell me has been looking for one for quite a while..not only was the car pristine with clean car fax...I priced it 1900.00 under average market price...the third day he came back with cash in a bag...2000.00 less than i wanted...closed the hood...walked away from him and told him I'd roll it off a cliff before I sold it for that...I have no patience for tire kickers...

Great posts here so I have to tell this story in short version best I can.....
About 2-1/2 years ago we decided to sell my wife's 2007 Vette as it was sitting outside (you can see her C7 orange replacement in the garage). I am an hour north of SF and the buyer came up from there looked the car over with his pregnant wife and I took him for a ride in it (I don't let people test drive till cash or means of payment and exactly how much is decided, offers, etc.). He liked the car and said he would be back in the morning. At about 4pm the next day still no word so I finally called him to see what was up? his reply "just going to call you and see if I could head up , we had some delays getting the cash". two hours later he was there, walked up and said "Do you want to negotiate?" I said "no, price is $27,500 and we shook on that yesterday, I have a small list of people to call if this falls apart" I was asking $28k. he said "ok" and preceded we preceded to count it out in cash. As you can see I did it on the wife's HC as I have one of our cameras in the garage as I wanted a picture of this guy, he just seemed like a shady mafia guy........ LOL
He stopped when we got to $27k and said can we make that work? which I answered no and he counted out the remaining $500.
he drove the car for 3 months and never put it in his name (luckily I did a release of liability when he left), and at that time he called and asked me if I would buy it back for what Carmax would give him $22k? I wanted to but without seeing the car and what he might have done to it I figured I didn't want to take a chance reselling it. Carmax was giving him a bad time since title was in my name and he hadn't paid taxes so again didn't want to get in what could be a messy situation.
Here's a few pic's. he is in white and his wife in a green dress.

One other story, 25 years ago we were in an Acura dealership going round and round with a salesman on a lease return Acura. We got the car down close to were I wanted to be at about $6k off what they were asking and a reasonable blue book value but still $500 apart. We walked out and as we were walking past the managers raised cubicle he looked down at us and said "I can't believe you are walking out of here for $500" which I snapped back with "I can't believe you are letting us walk out of here for $500?". When we got out to our car I shut my phone off and told the wife let's go eat lunch at Applebee's and when I turn this phone back on they will have called and take the extra $500 off. They did just that but no 2 year certified warranty, I called back and said we will come back and buy but has to have the 2 year warranty included, the salesman reluctantly agreed and an hour later the wife was driving the Acura home......
